Summary

Day 4 of 30 Days of SPECTRE!
 
Ralph Fiennes, Ralph Fiennes, Ralph Fiennes! Is there any finer actor for Judi Dench to pass the M torch to than that? We wager that there is not. 
 
We had a brief glimpse at the end of Skyfall but SPECTRE is the first time we get to see the new M in all his glory. 
 
We talk through all the M scenes from SPECTRE, ponder on the Gareth Mallory character in comparison to Sir Miles, as played by Bernard Lee and speculate on just how long we might see Ralph dishing out 007’s orders.
